(AP) -- ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- An unmanned cart raced from an end zone to midfield at Cowboys Stadium and ploughed into several people including a coach who were celebrating after a Texas high school championship game.

An emergency medical technician who declined identification said one man was taken to a hospital with an apparent leg injury.

A Texas sports league official said a male staffer also was injured, not seriously.

The electric-powered cart knocked down Spring Dekaney coach Willie Amendola and others at midfield after his team beat Cibolo Steele 34-14 in the Class 5A Division Two football championship.

A worker is seen on video footage jumping aboard the runaway cart and stopping it while some of those hit or grazed lay on the ground and others rushed to their aid.
